What a great day at Thomas Lake! Today’s Out of This World Fun Run was a huge success!

Students ran, danced, and enjoyed all of the fun stations before we wrapped up the day with our highly anticipated Staff vs. Student Inflatable Costume Race!

Our fun run day is so much more than the culmination of a fundraiser. Each year we look forward to it as a great opportunity for our entire school community to come together, be active, have fun, and celebrate our Thomas Lake school spirit! Seeing all of our students and staff decked out in Thomas Lake blue and families cheering everyone on was a wonderful reminder of what makes our school community so special.

Thank you to all the families who joined us today and to everyone who has generously supported our fall fundraiser!

🏅 This week, we highlighted Excellence—doing our best in everything we do, from schoolwork to helping at home.

🌟Caregiver Connection: Ask your student what they are most proud of this week. Celebrate their effort and talk about how aiming for excellence doesn’t mean being perfect—it means giving your best!

Our focus this week was Determination—working hard and not giving up, even when things get tough!

🌟Caregiver Connection: Set a small goal together at home—like a puzzle, a chore challenge, or learning a new skill. Celebrate the effort it takes to stick with it, not just the end result!
